Also mentioned in that link is the “Poop Knife”, touted as “dishwasher safe”. That is NOT going in my dishwasher, lol.

Social media at its worst. Damned effluentcers.

@whereveriroam Probably Africanized like most in southern Arizona I’ve read. We’ve had a couple Africanized hives removed from our back yard here in Oro Valley. They were no joke, vicious, vengeful little things, stinging neighbors 2 doors down because their hive was removed.

In no way does that sound fun or sane. I don’t understand the whole record setting mindset. Set a record, someone else will break it, and then all that punishing effort and injury for nothing.

@Pivo I like “Tuscan”.

@SpiderLegs I’ve noticed that too, with storms hitting hard close to Oracle and Pusch Ridge the past couple of weeks. I live over by El Conquistador, close to Oracle.

@chumley Over 4 inches of rain at my house in Oro Valley since July 24th.

I’d like to think that guy is still alive, I really would.

Perfect for accessing trailheads during winter conditions. I’d probably just cruise Oracle during rush hour in this though. https://www.craigslist.org/about/best/v ... 74296.html

It mentions “Consider sharing feedback like: Unauthorized trails that are not sustainable.” I’d like to see some of these “unauthorized trails” like Pusch Peak and some at Catalina State Park, turned into official USFS trails. Perhaps with a properly constructed trail bed and re-route some of these ...

Thank YOU Joe! I can’t imagine life without HAZ.

@cactuscat Columbine on Graham?

Lightning has an “e” now?

Do you know what State Parks those might be? Couldn’t find anything on the State Parks website…

I think the closure up to Aztec Peak itself (above the falls at least) may have to do with a new travel management plan that shows 487 crossing into the Sierra Ancha Wilderness near the peak.

@chumley Was thinking that too. East to west movement is rare. Noticed a big plume on Pinnacle yesterday afternoon, which disappeared later...maybe plume collapse caused a strong westward outflow?

We had permits for the west entrance for tomorrow but someone from the BLM called us about the closure and said our permit was cancelled. I was thinking of not going with the evil heat, anyway.

I’m ready to Hohokam-it out of the desert but my wife says no, lol.

I hope the fire crews can keep it out of the upper Pinal Mountains

Taken from Bushnell Tank turn off yesterday
Taken near Florence late afternoon. If this is burning salt cedar like Inciweb says, then, hooray!
